摘要

代际卫生流动是卫生机会和平等的重要标志，但这一领域的实证研究仍然很少，特别是关于公共政策影响的实证研究。作为美国规模最大、最有效的反贫困项目之一，我们首次提出了劳动所得税抵免（EITC）对代际健康流动性影响的实证证据。我们使用收入动态小组研究中自我报告的健康状况，并探索儿童暴露于最大EITC收益的时间、地理和家庭结构差异。我们发现EITC总体上改善了代际健康流动性，尤其是向上的健康流动性。

The effects of earned income tax credits on intergenerational health mobility in the United States.

Intergenerational health mobility is an important marker of health opportunity and equity, yet empirical research in this field remains sparse, particularly concerning the effects of public policies. We present the first empirical evidence of the effects of the Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC), one of the largest and most effective anti-poverty programs in the US, on intergenerational health mobility. We use self-reported health status from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and explore temporal, geographic, and family structure variations in childhood exposure to maximum EITC benefits. We find that the EITC generally improved intergenerational health mobility, especially upward health mobility.
